Chapter 9: Slow and Steady Home Improvement

"No, just craft one bed instead."

I said a bit grumpily.

A large wooden bed popped up before me. I swiped with my right hand, and it popped into my inventory.

[1 Wooden Bed has been added to your inventory]

[You have 19 Large Wooden Cubes remaining]

'If there were an option to have items pop up in my inventory, instead of popping up in real life, that would be good.'

I sighed.

I doubted the possibility of the system somehow updating and implementing the feature. But I still wanted this change. It would have made my life a bit easier.

I glanced behind myself to the other side of the room. It was the corner of the room, where I was going to install my water cooler.

"A very cool contraption, if I have to say so myself!"

Sweat dropped down my forehead as I said that.

It was rare for me to sweat, but damn it's hot in this room.

'It's really hot... I should install one of those open panel windows, so I won't burn to death. But with all the stuff I have to do right now, makes it impossible. There's the cooler, then furnishing my room, then the shrine to God, then looking for berries and some other stuff, I have likely forgotten about. Yeah... I really have a lot to do.'

I sighed once again as I began to scroll through my crafting system once again.

There it was. The second idea that I needed for my cool cooler.

[Wooden Plank]

[Crafting recipe: 1 Wooden Cube for 1 Wooden Plank or 1 Large Wooden Cube for 10 Wooden Planks]

I pressed on the large wooden cube option. There hadn't been a reason why I chose this over the other. But perhaps my inventory might look better if I used these ones.

[Do you wish to convert all 19 of your Large Wooden Cubes into 190 Wooden Planks?]

"No, just craft 20 wooden planks."

I said as the icon for the large wooden cubes began to blur as 20 wooden planks suddenly appeared before me.

'That was about to crush my foot!'

I stared towards the planks and held one of them up.

"How about I have you walk the plank, you spoiled brat..."

I said as I stared down on the plank.

He needed some punishment, but I quickly remembered that there was no point in bullying this plank.

"Finally! I'm finally done making this cooler! It took a lot out of me, but it's so good knowing that I am done!"

I collapsed onto the grass as I wiped my sweat.

It was the first time that I had done something so physically and mentally draining. Well, except exams and PE. Those two activities are just built different.

"It's quite unfortunate that I couldn't build this quote on quote cooler without breaking a sweat I thought it would at least make me cool!"

I continued the line of awful puns. These puns weren't punny even to the slightest degree.

After cringing at my jokes and recovering my stamina, I glanced at the blue berry bush. There were about 20 blue berries growing on it. 20 blue berries that I would absolutely love to eat!

Oh yeah.

"Inventory."

I pulled 2 blue berries from my inventory and crunched them into my mouth. I was quickly reminded of it's sweet and juicy flavor. It was absolutely revitalizing, as I felt my body healing from the pain of hard labor. Perhaps I could use the blue berries to create a potion.

I harvested the blue berries from the bush.

[You have 33 blue berries]

'I'm kind of hoarding these blue berries already...'

I thought as I felt increasingly disappointed in myself.

'It's as if I were like a monkey, hoarding bananas. Though I'm not a monkey, so by no means I am bananas or anything. But these blue berries are seriously go-'

I quickly realized my sin.

I was making so much bad puns today...

I facepalmed.

As I felt the weight of my disappointment weighing on me, I would glance back at my house as the winds began to blow. There was a soft fragrant breeze in the air. The air had smelt good, infinitely better than what air in Japan smells like.

"I think it would be good for me to work on that window thing, but first I will need to get a special item for that kind of operation! A saw! That's the only thing I saw could h-"

I paused as disappointment built up in me.

WHAT IS MY ISSUE WITH ALL THESE BAD PUNS!?

I facepalmed very loudly.

"System."

There was a red facepalm mark on my face, and there wasn't a saw or anything in the crafting system.

"Yeah, I think I will just go and harvest resources in the meantime, because I don't want to use my axe to do the work of a saw!"

I commented as I began shuffling to the side and picking up a rock.
